Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, and Cyera, an end-to-end Data and AI Security Platform, have announced the launch of Cohesity Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), powered by Cyera. The unified solution closes the loop from data discovery and classification to protection and recovery, helping organizations reduce AI-related data risks and increase cyber resilience in an era of rapid AI adoption.

  • Cohesity launched Cohesity DSPM, powered by Cyera, a unified solution combining data security posture management with data protection and recovery.

  • The solution addresses the challenge of sensitive data spreading across cloud, SaaS, and AI workflows faster than organizations can govern.

  • It uses agentless scanning and AI-powered classification to deliver up to 95% accuracy in identifying sensitive data across structured and unstructured stores.

  • Organizations gain a centralized view of data risk and can prioritize remediation actions before incidents occur.

  • The integration supports compliance, reduces redundant data, and enables faster adoption of cloud, SaaS, and AI initiatives.

  • Cohesity DSPM is part of Cohesity's broader 5 Steps to Cyber Resilience framework, starting with understanding and securing data before attacks.

Closing the Loop Between Visibility and Recovery

As AI and data proliferation accelerate across enterprises, sensitive data is spreading across cloud, SaaS, and AI workflows faster than organizations can govern. AI-powered agents are introducing new and opaque ways that increase exposure, compliance risk, and operational disruption. Many existing DSPM solutions struggle to keep pace with the scale, complexity, and speed of large enterprise environments, and often fail to translate data visibility into actionable governance and recovery readiness.

Cohesity DSPM, powered by Cyera, addresses this challenge by continuously discovering, classifying, and monitoring sensitive data at scale. Using agentless scanning and AI-powered classification, the solution delivers rapid, high-precision visibility across structured and unstructured data stores, achieving up to 95% accuracy with insights across petabytes of data in minutes. By unifying discovery, classification, and posture analysis, security teams gain a centralized view of sensitive data risk and can prioritize remediation actions to reduce exposure before incidents occur.

"Data is the foundation of modern business. And in the era of cloud and agentic AI, it is also where cyber risk concentrates and accelerates. At Cohesity, our 5 Steps to Cyber Resilience start with understanding and securing data before an attack ever occurs," said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and President, Cohesity. "By expanding our partnership with Cyera and launching Cohesity DSPM, powered by Cyera, we are bringing best-in-class, AI-native data security posture management into our cyber resilience platform. Together, we help organizations continuously discover and classify sensitive data, reduce exposure, and close the loop from visibility to protection and rapid recovery so that they can innovate with AI confidently and securely."

End-to-End Data Security for the Agentic AI Era

The integration of Cyera's DSPM capabilities with Cohesity's data protection platform delivers a comprehensive approach to cyber resilience. Organizations can reduce risk before an attack through continuous monitoring and posture analysis, and speed recovery after an attack with integrated data protection. The solution also lowers total cost through accelerated deployment and the reduction of redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data, while supporting compliance and enabling faster adoption of cloud, SaaS, and AI initiatives.

"Cyber resilience in the agentic AI era starts with understanding your data, because you cannot protect or recover what you cannot see," said Yotam Segev, Co-founder and CEO of Cyera. "By bringing Cyera's purpose-built AI security platform directly into Cohesity's best-in-class cyber resilience platform, we are advancing our shared vision around giving our joint customers the data security and protection backbone for AI-driven growth."

"As enterprise data volumes grow and AI adoption expands, organizations are finding that cyber resilience increasingly depends on having accurate, scalable visibility into their data estates," said Todd Thiemann, Principal Analyst, Omdia. "Omdia research indicates that enterprises that suffered successful ransomware attacks look to better data classification and protection as top areas for improvement. The combination of best-of-breed data intelligence with enterprise-scale data protection and recovery, such as Cohesity's collaboration with Cyera, addresses these needs by aligning visibility, security, and recovery around shared operational outcomes."

With this launch, Cohesity continues expanding its portfolio of leading data security solutions to empower customers to confidently innovate while staying secure across the entire attack lifecycle.
